Motivation Monday:Believe & Build

If there is one piece of advice I can give that can't fail you, it would be to believe in your brand. Learn how to take the stones that are thrown at you and build up a wall that makes you invincible. That wall you are building is your empire, silence your critics with success. It's one thing to say you are doing something and another for everyone to notice.I have grown to realize that there is a huge difference between genuine constructive criticism and a negative nancy. The time you spend trying to figure it out is time you can use to build your empire. If you want to seek some type of guidance then simply ask for it and if you didn't ask then don't accept crap from anyone. People who chose to pull you down are a great sign that you are above them. In the event that I notice a lot of negativity coming my way I have trained my mind to believe that something good is on it's way, and it usually is. Once you master this you'll gain this amazing amount of confidence in yourself and your brand. People can't help but notice when you are confident in your brand, or a lack thereof so keep that in mind. I brand everything and keep things cohesive. All of my images have my blog name, all of my social networks have the same image, this is what branding is about. When you look put together people take you and your brand more seriously. Companies and others will be more likely to work with you if you are branding properly, if you show confidence, and if you are professional. I hope this post gave you another push into the right direction as you begin your week. Stay focused on your dreams and forget everything else in between!
